Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to a refrigerant compressor and, more particularly, to a slant plate type compressor, such as a wobble plate type compressor, with a variable displacement mechanism suitable for use in an automotive air conditioning system.
  • a wobble plate compressor with a variable displacement mechanism suitable for use in an automotive air conditioning system is disclosed in US-A-3,861,829.
  • the compression ratio of the compressor may be controlled by changing the the slant angle of the sloping surface of the wobble plate.
  • the slant angle of the wobble plate is adjusted by changing crank chamber pressure which is generated by controlling communication between the suction chamber and the crank chamber.
  • JP-A-60-135,680 corresponding US-A-4,586,874 the communication between the suction chamber and the crank chamber is controlled by an electromagnetic valve which is operated by receiving an external signal, such as, an electrical ON/OFF signal having a variable ON/OFF ratio.
  • an ON signal and an OFF signal cause the communication between the suction chamber and the crank chamber to be accomplished and to be blocked respectively. Therefore, when the communication between the suction chamber and the crank chamber is controlled by a high ON ratio signal, the crank chamber is substantially maintained at suction chamber pressure whereby the compressor is maintained at maximum displacement.
  • variable capacity slant plate type compressor in which an externally controlled valve control mechanism can control a communication between a suction chamber and a crank chamber without unusual decreasing of suction chamber pressure.

  • crank chamber 22 When electromagnetic valve 80 receives a low ON ratio signal, the communication between second conduit 197 and third conduit 198 is substantially blocked. Therefore, the communication between crank chamber 22 and suction chamber 241 is substantially blocked even though first valve control device 19 operates in response to any pressure in suction chamber 241. Accordingly, pressure in crank chamber 22 is gradually increased by inter-compressed refrigerant gas blown through a gap between piston 71 and cylinder 70 thereby the slant angle of wobble plate 60 tends to be minimized against a urging force of bias spring 34 to minimize the compressor displacement.
  • crank chamber 22 when pressure in suction chamber 241 falls below pressure in bellows 193a thereby bellows 193a expands to close hole 19b, the communication between crank chamber 22 and suction chamber 241 is substantially blocked even though the communication between second conduit 197 and third conduit 198 is substantially accomplished. Accordingly, pressure in crank chamber 22 is gradually increased by inter-compressed refrigerating gas blown through the gap between piston 71 and cylinder 70 thereby the slant angle of wobble plate 60 tends to be minimized against the urging force of bias spring 34 to minimize the compressor displacement.
